- How did the construction of this novel and how they influenced the story, having lived in Angola?
"The creative process is difficult to explain. The ideas floating in his head until the time comes, be postponed, dunk on paper.

But while Ojos Negros speaks of various real-extraction elements and the diamond trade for example, none of them worked as the trigger of the story.
"The description of landscapes and cities are amazing, almost like a travel journal, are the eyes of Sguiglia Eduardo (Argentine foreign land) that recorded all these pictures and then the writer (far economist) poured faithfully in the book?
"Well, I had the opportunity to travel the Lundas (northern Angola), the Congo and Mexico. However, I think all images are the story that captures and records in his notebook Miguel, the main character.

-not define in advance the pace of the story. I tried to move the way I was more comfortable and satisfying.
- In the coming weeks you will travel to Rosario witness in the case Genaro Diaz Bessone repressor. More than three decades, do you believe that impunity is over for those who acted overlapping dictatorial government? Some
-laws and governmental decisions, as the laws of obedience and end point and Menem's pardon, with the passivity of some judges, delayed and obstructed the process of those guilty of many crimes against humanity.
However, although having more than three decades, it is important that justice further progress so that you can know the truth and punish the oppressors
